CARAVAN TRAVELLING.
The Most Enjoyable and Romantsc way Of
Seeing . C0untry.

The Most Enjoyable and Romantsc Way ol
Seeing . Country.
| A French friend of mine lives near
one OF those pretty shady avenues Of
trees that are common on the outskirts
OF French towns, and often in the morn
ing he walks out in that direction. One
day his curiosity was attracted by .
caravan that sought the shade there.
The horses were embarrassed BY a serv-
ant. and the master came out of the
vehicle and looked around him with
the eye Of a stranger to the locality.
There is something about that cara
van." my friend thought, 'tha. seems
unusual. and ! should like to find out
what it is" Impelled by this desire,
he entered into conversation with the
owner. who was Immediately recog-
nizable as q gentleman. and my friend
being OF the same class they soon
became communicative, as French
people will when they have not
made up their minds to be rigidly
solemn and reserved. The owner
Of the caravan was NJ. le Comte
de b, the horses were his carriage
horses, the man was his groom, and
Mime. la Comtesse was inside the house
on wheels, occupied in cooking the de-
jcuaer. They remained in that place
twenty-fonr hours. and my friend be-
came almost intimate with them. They
both said that of all the varieties Of
travelling this was what they most en-
joyed. 1t had begun by an attempt to
explore some part Of the country where
the inns were bad. but since then they
had come to prefer the caravan to any
inns whatever; and. in fact, there were
two or three excellent hotels in the
town they were then visiting. The cara
van was arranged with great skill, SO
as to give good accommodation in a
restricted space. and the servant was
provided for by sort Of tent. not set up
separately on the ground. but belonging
to the habitation itself Looking at this
arrangement from practical point of
view it might be thought that with q
lady on board it would be desirable
to have q second caravan with scrv-
ants. That, however. would involve
a great increase Of expense. Yet
the continual expense would not be
great. as the extra pair Of horses
might be hired for the excursion only.
One Of my friends. who knew that
was interested in every thing concern
ing Independent travel. told me of a
moving establishment he had met with
in Italy. A rich Italian nobleman
with four caravans Of commo-
dious size and admirably contrived,
each drawn by pair of fine horses.
On arriving at halting place for the
night the vehicles were placed in the
form Of hollow square. and the place
80 inclosed was covered in with a can.
vas roof. This made sort Of central
hall. in which the owner and his family
Ilincd in great state, the caravans serv-
ing as bedrooms. Now. although this
may seem an extravagant way Of trav.
cling. it is. in fact, merely an unaccus.
tomed way Of employing rich mans
Of horses and men. The
extra expense involved by this particu-
ar employment Of them need not be
Onerous.-G. r. Hamcrton,

Friday, November Il, 1887.

There is good cause to rejoice over
the result of Tuesdays election in
New York. The candidacy of Henry
George had made many democrats
doubtful of victory, and to carry the
state by an increased majority is far
more than was anticipated by the most
sanguine. While there is no exulta-
ton over the defeat of Col. Fred Grant
so far as he is personally concerned,
there is indeed great reason to rejoice
over the defeat Of the bosses, and the
principles which he represented. If
the republican leaders were sincere in
their professed desire to honor him
they would have secured his cOniirma-
ton to the high and honorable position
to which he had been nominated by
Governor Hill. But on the contrary,
they desired TO use him as a tool to
secure for them the spoils of Office,
and their labors have been brought to
nauaht. The labor vote has shrunk

Candor and courage are grand traits
of human character. To the honor
of the late E. B. Washburn it can be
truthfully said that he possessed them
both in an eminent degree. The Hud-
son True Republican says:
Among the last public utterances of
the late E. B. Washbnrn was an able
letter to the Chicago Tribune, in which
he defended Land Commissioner
Sparks against the attacks of land
sharks and their organs from whom he
has wrested and restored to settlers
public lands which they had fraudu-
lently obtained. Mr.. Washburn was
one of the few republicans who had
the candor and courage to defend
Commissioner Sparks when the mo-
noplies of the country were against
him. Mr.. Washburn was an ardent
republican, an intimate friend of
Americas two greatest heroes of this
century, Lincoln and Grant, vet he
said at dinner about year ago. Mr..
Cleveland is an honest man. If he
continues as he is doing he will certain
" be reelected"

William Fox has moved his family
to Highland. AS he is employed in
carrying the mail from this place to
Highland it will be much more con-
venient and pleasant to have his fam

will no longer necessitate his being
away from home five nights each
week, and making an extra trip Sat
urdays and Mondays.
A serious accident occurred on the
farm of Lorenzo Stevens, about three
miles west of the village, on Thurs
day last. \ corn-husker was in oper-
alton, and Mr.. Armfield, one of the
men employed in running with it, &C
cidentally got his hand in where the
knives cut up the fodder, and in an
instant his hand was torn in shreds.
DR., Zeigler, of this place, and DR..
Hitchcock, of Montfort, were called,
and an examination of the hand soon
revealed the fact that amputation was
necessary. They took it off just above
the wrist, and the patient is doing as
well as can be expected. Mr.. Armfeld
is an industrious young man, and he
has the sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty in the irreparable loss he has sus-
tanned. w.JR.

1t has become so that the stock
raisers of the west and northwest are
not confined to single market for the
sale of their cattle and hogs. Kansas
City and Omaha have for some time
past competed with Chicago and St.
Louis for the live stock trade; and
now st. Paul has also erected stock
yards and packing houses, and will
make a vigorous effort to secure a
large amount of business. The Farmer,
published at st. Paul, says:
"A brief visit to the new stock
yards at South st. Paul reveals the
fact that they are now in readiness
for the yarding and feeding of stock.
Indeed, since the opening a lew days
ago, over 5000 head have been I'M
loaded there. The yards are in ex-
cellent condition and complete in every
arrangement for the expeditions and
convenient handling of cattle, sheep
and hogs. The foundation for the
yards is three to twelve feet of sand
and gravel. The driveways are all
planked, and every pen is furnished
with water troughs and feed racks.
The water supply is furnished by an
artesian well of ample capacity. A
portion of the pens are covered with
shingled and painted roofs. The con-
veniences for loading and unloading
are of the most approved character.
The yards proper, at present cover an
area of about thirty-five acres, the ca
pacity being for $4,000 to $1,000 hogs,
the same number of cattle, and 10000
sheep. Having visited nearly all the
best stock yards in the country, we
feel safe in saying that these are su-
perior to any others, in having about
every equipment that stockmen can
desire. The receipts thus far have
been principally from the east over the
Minnesota and Northwestern railroad.
The packing houses are not yet COM
pleted, but will be open for work the
latter part of the month. These houses
are said by leading packers, who have
examined them, to be the most COM
plete in the country. They were
planned by the architect of the leading
houses at Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas
City, etc, and not being limited as
to outlay, he is furnishing them with
all the most approved appliances for
the rapid cutting, handling, curing and
packing of meats. The capacity OF
the houses will be $500 hogs and 500
cattle per day"

The republican party of Wise onsin
has fallen SO far behind the times up
on questions of public policy and be
come SO thoroughly fossilized in re-
gard to leadership that it is Il shame
that it should be continued in power in
a Young and vigorous commonwealth.
The La Crosse Chronicle sharply calls
attention to this fact in an able article
from which the following extract is
taken:
1.-THE announcement that Horace
Rublee, Henry Payne and number
of lesser lights are busy organizing
the "young" republicans of Wiscon-
sin, is full of interest. Boys" of
the Rublee, Payne, Fairchild, Sawyer,
Rusk pattern have done the organ
izing in the republican party for nearly
thirty years.
The young men of Wisconsin had
better open their eyes and do little
thinking before they determine to help
save the country" for the republican
veteran politicians.
They will be sensible if they OBJ
serve that the men who east great
majority of the votes, who are the
active men in all professions and in
all business. the men who pay the
great bulk of the taxes, war taxes in
cluded, are the men under forty years
of age.
If they will understand these facts
they will naturally reach the conclu-
sion that the sort of politics that the
country needs is the politics of the
present. and preparation for the flu
ture. That rs Young men are the men
interested vitality, in this sort of pol
itics, young men should be placed at
the helm of affairs to shape public
policy, and the men who have existed
solely on "reminiscences for twenty
five wears should be relegated to re-
tirement and rest.
The democratic party is now the
party of the young men and of pro
gressive ideas. The young men who
realize the needs of the country to be
economy in public management and
relief from war taxes, should tioek to
the democratic standard where they
will have voice in shaping the party
policy.
The "boys" are all right. Give
them a chance"
The place for all men who are young
in spirit and alive to the politics of
the present - whose faces are turned
TO the future instead of to the past
whether they are old in years or not,
is in the democratic ranks. The
party is under wise leadership, and its
policy is progressive, dealing with the
issues of the present and making prep
aration for the future. In shaping
that policy all who have come to the
wears of discretion and have kept up
with the times have chance.
